Grids vs. Graticules

I am new to Mapserver, deep in the learning curve. I have a question that
I hope someone can answer. If I add a Grid layer to the map file the map
draws the grid with no problem. However, I need the grid to be displayed as
graticules, that is, distorted as lines of latitude and longitude are
distorted depending on the projection. Instead the grid lines are all true
vertical, horizontal. Is this possible?
Here is the Grid Layer in my mapfile:
